Definitions

  • the gripping members are actuated radially until the radial end thereof contacts the inner shell of the pile and then begin the lifting thereof until it is completely vertical. From what is described, in this condition all the gripping members will be arranged below the flange, ensuring that the pile is stably suspended until it is deemed useful. In the case of other piles, the gripping takes place once the gripping members are in contact with the inner shell of the pile in a position spaced from the free end, and the conicity of the pile will ensure the stability of the grip, provided that the gripping members remain locked to the diameter of the shell area at the longitudinal height where the grip was made, therefore the pressure on the shell is kept circumferentially homogeneous and constant.
  • each actuator 20 is designed to hydraulically actuate the respective armature 22 so that the slide 32 is movable, in use, between a first position in which the front abutment 320 is free from the longitudinal end LE and arranged within the first shell IM and a second position in which the front abutment 320 is arranged in contact with the first shell IM ( Figures 7-10 ) .
  • each actuator 20 is designed to hydraulically actuate the respective armature 22 in such a way that the slide 32, and therefore the respective coupling member 324, is movable between a first position in which the second tooth 3244 is arranged inside the cylindrical face FC ( Figures 7 and 8 ) and a second position in which the front abutment 320 is in contact with the cylindrical face FC ( Figures 9 and 10 ).
  • Figures 7-9 represent a situation in which the pile CP to be grasped is arranged lying down with the respective longitudinal axis AL substantially horizontal, while in Figure 10 the pile CP is arranged with the respective longitudinal axis AL substantially vertical, ready to be lowered into the sea for respective installation.
  • the gripping assembly 1 in its versions in Figures 1-10 and 11-14 is designed to operate with the piles CP of the types described above by simply replacing the hook-shaped coupling members 324 with the vice coupling member 324' or vice versa in order to avoid deforming the longitudinal end LE of the piles CP to be handled.
